I wore it under my we suite since it is sleeveless. It helped keep my arms warm and it held its shape so far. I've used it three times and it was put in the dryer twice.

I'm told by my wife the material does stretch. She is smaller bra size, but told me that you should be good to go.

In my opinon they run a little small. Get a mens or the next size up in a womens size.

I wear a 36D bra and bought a size large. It was tight but not uncomfortable. The fabric is not loose at all. It's bathing suit material.

Did you look at the k'tan website for sizing. If you are between sizes it says go down. I'm 5'3" and wear 10/12 tops (sizing based on fitted t-shirt, I'm a 38D and the M fits great- it does stretch after a few wears so I just wash and throw in the dryer on high). The organic stretches and has more give than the regular fabric. Hope this helps. It is my absolute favorite carrier.

I just got this a couple weeks ago and I am 19 mo post delivery . I have not been wearing everyday but I can see a slight difference already . I am long waisted and it doesn't stretch vertically so it tugs a little I the crotch area. Running around after twins makes it not that comfortable to wear shape wear in general . This is my favorite shape wear I own though.

I would go with a 32 if you want it tighter and it'll stretch put the more you wear it or a 34. There's not a huge difference between the two, I wear a 6 and got a 34 because I like mine a little smaller so it's less drag when I swim competitively.

I only wore it around the pool in Palm Springs. It's not form fitting, at least the size I got for myself but I don't like them to fit that way...but no issues with the shirt getting hot.Hope that helps. Ps. lots of compliments on the "look" of the shirt.

I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight. I use to wear a 32 waist in Levi's Jeans, now a 36 waist is baggy but the 34's are too tight. I have a very slight belly. I wear this around my naval area and it stretches, I would think it would fit a true 36 inch to 37, possibly a 38 inch waist. I know the tighter the fit the more it will pull in your gut and your lower back. The length of the brace is 39 inches long laid out flat UN-stretched and stretched I easily got it to 46 -47 inches. I hope that helps you make a better educated decision to buy or not to buy this Mr. Firtel. I am 6 foot 2 tall and 190 lbs with about 3-4 inches more in waist than 10 years ago at the same weight.

You have to check the size chart. I will tell you that it should fit snug. I ordered a size 18 as I wear a size 16 top but a size 18 bottom and it was loose. I got another one in a smaller size & it is much more comfortable. They definitely make a huge difference in the pool! I am not freezing anymore.

I'm 5`3-4" and 114lbs, and I ordered the small which fit snugly, but as a wetsuit should. I wear a 32A cup bra, as well, and the chest was as skin tight as the rest of the suit.

im 5'5", flux between 118-123lbs and just purchased the xs today. i went to a store to try on the sizes and the small, while it fit, wasn't snug. a lot of the reviews i've read say to err on the side of tighter to prevent the vest from riding up while in use. i like that the xs feels like a secure hug. the only thing is that the bottom of the vest ends around my natural waist, which won't be as warm.

I'm 36/38 D cup, 160 lbs, 5'4" and I went with a XXL. It's a conforming fit but not overly tight. If you want it to be skin tight, I would try the XL.

It appears Amazon is out of the Large. How about the Large Short (size LS)? It states it is the same chest and waist size but probably a shorter torso as it is listed for someone 5'7" to 5'9". Also I'm 6'0", 178lbs with a 42" chest and 34" waist. I ordered a Large and found it tight in the chest and especially around my neck. I workout but am not "thick". I had to get an XL and it fits pretty good. I guess I'm trying to say that they run a little small. Love the wetsuit by the way!

I have this in a small and it fits perfectly and true to size but I don't know the measurements, it does stretch so I would think it would be ok, tighter is better anyway so it doesn't slip when your running

I am a 38 c n the large was more like a 34/36. I kept it as it was very inexpensive. But will probably not ever use it. Good luck.

I'm 5'9" wear a size 16/18 and I'm a 38D and it fits me fine. There's a little bit of extra give in it on me as well. If you're wanting it to wrap around, Velcro close and still have a lot of extra fabric, you'll be disappointed b/c that's not how it's designed. It's elastic at the top so stretches to fit, but like I said, I'm a 38D and it fits fine. Hope that helps!

I bought this for my son but in an adult size I think it would be very comfortable to swim laps in. Rash guards are great for that .

I always wear a swimsuit top under mine. I would not wear it without some kind of bra top. It is like wearing a compression fit UnderArmour shirt.

I think you should be okay. The fabric is nice a soft, so it might stretch just a bit.
